Abstract

An audio dosimeter for use by an individual for measuring exposure to sound, contains the following components:an electronic microphonic sound sensor means (1) which feeds in series:an amplifier and weighting circuit (11), an x-squared detector circuit (12), a temperature compensation circuit (13) and an analog to digital converter (14). A microcomputer (16) controls, interalia, the temperature compensator circuit (13) and the analog to digital converter (14). The microcumputer (16) operates in accordance with unique logarithmic algorithms and provides outputs corresponding to sound inputs in terms of values such as percent of dose, average and maximum decibel levels and instantaneous sound level.
